You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.223.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024. Your current IP address is 44.223.80.188.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

((main|List of fatal dog attacks))
This is a '''list of human deaths caused by dogs''', which became publicly known in the form of reports, cause of death statistics, scientific papers, or other sources. For more information on causes of death and studies related to dog bite-related fatalities, see [[Fatal dog attacks]]. 

Since 1998 deaths have been collected according to ICD-10 [[International Classification of Diseases|International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems]]. With the help of cause-of-death statistics, recommendations for action and strategies can be derived, for example, for epidemiological research, prevention of deaths, and so on.<ref>((Cite web |title=Qualitätsbericht - Todesursachenstatistik |url=https://www.destatis.de/DE/Methoden/Qualitaet/Qualitaetsberichte/Gesundheit/todesursachen.html |access-date=2023-10-19 |website=Statistisches Bundesamt |language=de))</ref> Deaths from or after dog bites are very rare, they count as preventable deaths.

According to an evaluation of the number of deaths in the period from '''2009 to 2019''', an average of '''3.3 people died per year''' throughout Germany. The states of Rhineland-Palatinate, Schleswig-Holstein, Bremen and Saarland had no deaths during this period. In 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2012 and 2019, there were no deaths nationwide, according to statistics.<ref>((Cite web |title=Durchschnittliche Anzahl von Todesfällen durch Hundebisse nach Bundesländern 2009-2019 |url=https://de.statista.com/statistik/daten/studie/157643/umfrage/todesfaelle-durch-hundebisse-nach-bundeslaendern/ |access-date=2023-10-19 |website=Statista |language=de))</ref><ref>((Cite web |title=Todesfälle durch Hundebisse in Deutschland |url=https://de.statista.com/statistik/daten/studie/157642/umfrage/todesfaelle-durch-hundebisse-nach-bundeslaendern-von-1998-bis-2007/ |access-date=2023-10-19 |website=Statista |language=de))</ref>

The dog named "Chico" was taken to a shelter. Nearly 300,000 people signed the online petitions demanding that the dog be rescued and that it be given a chance for resocialization. The case was also made explosive by the fact that the dog was already known to the responsible authorities.

The man panicked due to the profuse bleeding and ran away, leaving his companions unable to help him. He bled to death before the rescue workers arrived.<ref>((Cite news |last=Eckert |first=Günter |date=2002-05-03 |title=Mann verblutet nach Hundebiss |trans-title=Man bled to death after dog bite |work=Stimme |url=https://www.stimme.de/storage/mediadl/2518-NTuvixW4wm |access-date=2023-10-26))</ref>

|The victim was taking out the trash when the dog attacked her. The dog bit into the pensioner's head and neck and severed her cervical spine. Neighbors rushed over and hit the animal with spades but couldn't save the injured woman. According to the public prosecutor's office, the daughter of a Rottweiler breeder was taking a walk with three Rottweilers who were not on a leash in the early hours of the morning. The dog named "Easy" disappeared for a while and returned to the nearby breeding grounds by herself. The dog had attacked and injured a child three years before the fatal attack. The Essen public prosecutor's office alleged negligent homicide. The 21-year-old was sentenced to ten months for negligent homicide (juvenile sentence to probation).<ref>((Cite web |last= |first= |date=2000-07-17 |title=Verhandlung beginnt am Donnerstag: Prozess: Rentnerin von Rottweiler-Hündin zerfleischt |trans-title=Trial begins on Thursday: Trial: Pensioner mauled by Rottweiler dog |url=https://rp-online.de/panorama/prozess-rentnerin-von-rottweiler-huendin-zerfleischt_aid-8267825 |access-date=2024-03-13 |website=RP ONLINE |language=de))</ref><ref>((Cite web |last= |first= |date=2000-03-15 |title=Nach tödlichen Bissen: Rottweiler „Easy“ soll eingeschläfert werden |trans-title=After fatal bites: Rottweiler “Easy” should be euthanized |url=https://rp-online.de/panorama/rottweiler-easy-soll-eingeschlaefert-werden_aid-8325993 |access-date=2024-03-13 |website=RP ONLINE |language=de))</ref><ref>((Cite web |last=Lüning |first=Maria |date=2012-12-03 |title=Mehr Freilauf für Hunde |trans-title=More free running for dogs |url=https://www.waz.de/staedte/gladbeck/article7357131/mehr-freilauf-fuer-hunde.html |access-date=2024-03-13 |website=www.waz.de |language=de))</ref><ref>((Cite news |date=2000-03-07 |title=NACH DER ATTACKE: Rottweiler-Suche hält an |trans-title=AFTER THE ATTACK: Rottweiler search continues |url=https://taz.de/!1244994/ |access-date=2024-03-13 |work=Die Tageszeitung: taz |pages= |language=de |issn=))</ref>
